Over the thousands of years, the style of Chinese calligraphy
has evolved continually. About 213 B.C., under the famous
Chin Shih Huang Ti, who perpetrated the 'burning of the books',
the Prime Minister Li Szu drew up an official index of characters
and unified the written form for the use of scholars.
This is chuan-shu and contained more than 3,000 characters.
From that time to the present, there are five major styles of
calligraphy:
| seal | clerical | cursive | regular |
More about the evolution of these styles (in Chinese [BIG5])
(The Japanese terms for these are: tensho, reisho, kaisho, gyosho, and sosho styles.)
It is remarkable that after two thousand years, all five styles of writings are still in use today.
A few arbitrarily selected works of the master calligraphers are presented herein.
